Summary: A man was caught on video removing and destroying Harris-Walz signs outside an early voting site in Raleigh. The man claimed he was expressing his political beliefs, but removing or stealing political signs is considered theft and is a misdemeanor. Early voting continues through Saturday, with Election Day on Tuesday, November 5th.

    You do that by voting. Dumbass. At least he didn’t attack volunteers inside like what’s happened in other places. I can’t understand people sometimes.

    “I didn’t mean to cause such a stink, but my understanding is that when signs are placed in public places, like on the road or on government land, it’s essentially litter and you’re allowed to pick them up if you want to,” the man said.

    Ignorance isn’t an excuse, and that excuse might be more believable if it was off on a road corner at a light or something. A sign in the ground at a voting area…could be litter? Really? Definitely a dumbass.

      Was he pulling out the Trump and local Republican signs too? No? Then he knew, he just didn’t want to get in trouble for what he did. Fucking cowards don’t have the conviction to actually stand up for their beliefs.
